Good Night Captain Mama! Pre-Order Book Tour and twitter party!

I want to share information on this new children's book written by
my friend Graciela Tiscareño-Sato, and Illustrated by Linda Lens. If you
are military mama, this would be a great book to have and share with
your children.Pre-Order Book tour and Twitter party takes place next
week! See below for details.

Good Night Captain Mama is a bilingual picture book created for children between the ages of three and eight.

One evening, as a young child passes by his mother's bedroom, he sees Mamá in her olive-green Air Force-issued flight suit. The child is curious about the colorful patches on the uniform and asks questions as he pulls each one off. His mother's answers teach him, and young children everywhere, why women serve in uniform. [peek at illustrations here]

We will be discussing bilingual children's books, and the controversy surrounding the author's decision to include the Spanish language in this book depicting a military service member in uniform. Hope you'll join us!
